    AbstractMuscle injury is one of the most common sports-related injuries. Ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are the most useful imaging techniques for assessing muscle injuries. Ultrasound generates images of a greater spatial resolution than MRI; it allows real-time functional and dynamic assessment of muscles and tendons. It combines this information with physiological assessment of blood flow, is well tolerated, noninvasive, and cost-effective. Conversely, its soft-tissue contrast is not as good as MRI. Muscle injuries are conventionally separated into acute and chronic. This article reviews the spectrum of muscle injury and highlights the role ultrasound plays in providing specific diagnostic and therapeutic answers.2011 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
